Electronics-Themed Comics
November 1944 Radio News, October 1949 & June 1951 Radio & Television News

Here are three more technology-themed comics from vintage of Radio & Television New magazines. Some issued had multiple comics, but these three had just one apiece, so I combined them onto a single page. There is a huge list of previously posted comics at the bottom of the page. With many of these comics, you might need to be familiar with the mindset of the electronics world back in the day. Today it is considered hilarious today to see a video of someone walking into a street lamp pole while staring obliviously into a smartphone. In the middle of the last century, fun was made of wives not understanding their hubbies' hobbies, dealings with servicemen, and and goofy things do-it-yourselfers of the era were doing.
